whew!

That’s the sound of relief that comes from knowing a teenager likes my YA novel!!! I’ve got loads of comments to respond to on my previous post…I feel kind of guilty about not working on Judah’s Tale as of late, but blogging about these kidlit topics has been SO rewarding and thought-provoking…and the cherry on top is Miss Attitude’s rave review of A Wish After Midnight over at Reading in Color. If you haven’t been following this young woman, you better check yourself and get on over there b/c the school year starts soon and her focus will be on school work once more…

You’re not scary, Miss A! There’s just a gap sometimes between books that teens love and books that adults love; yet adults give out the awards, adults choose what ends up in your local library, and teens often don’t LIKE those books! All my reviews to date have been written by adults, so you’re the first teen to give it a thumbs up and I’m thrilled!
